UC Santa Barbara researchers found 9 of 428 third-party LLM routers actively injecting malicious tool calls, draining crypto, and stealing AWS credentials from AI agent sessions.

Claude Mythos Preview is Anthropic's most capable model - restricted to 50 orgs via Project Glasswing, with 93.9% on SWE-bench Verified and thousands of autonomous zero-day discoveries.

A 26B MoE model fine-tuned on elite bug bounty reports and real evasion techniques runs locally in 16.7GB, delivering WAF bypasses, exploit chains, and zero refusals with internal reasoning blocks.

Anthropic's restricted Claude Mythos Preview model autonomously discovered thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities across every major OS and browser, including bugs hiding in plain sight for 27 years.

Project Glasswing unites AWS, Apple, Google, Microsoft, CrowdStrike, and seven other organizations with $100M in credits for Anthropic's restricted Mythos Preview model to patch critical infrastructure before attackers catch up.

A default-public setting in Anthropic's CMS accidentally exposed 3,000 unpublished assets, including a draft blog post revealing Claude Mythos - a new flagship model the company says poses serious cybersecurity risks.

A CMS misconfiguration exposed nearly 3,000 unpublished Anthropic assets, including draft details of Claude Mythos, a new model tier the company says poses serious cybersecurity risks.

LiteLLM versions 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 contain a credential-stealing payload that exfiltrates SSH keys, cloud credentials, and crypto wallets to a lookalike domain. The package has 97 million monthly downloads.

We ran the GitHub search query from a researcher's blog post and confirmed 300+ malicious repositories with AI-generated READMEs distributing info-stealers - with the real number likely north of 1,000.

Claude Opus 4.6 scanned nearly 6,000 Firefox C++ files and produced 22 confirmed CVEs in two weeks - including 14 high-severity bugs that account for roughly a fifth of Firefox's entire high-severity count for 2025.

OpenAI launches Codex Security in research preview, scanning 1.2M commits and finding 11,353 critical and high-severity vulnerabilities. The AI vulnerability arms race is officially on.

Zenity Labs found that a malicious calendar invite could hijack Perplexity's Comet browser into reading local files and exfiltrating their contents to an attacker-controlled server - no clicks required.
